Forget tomei bolts and bearings. Use ARP. It's the same part but cheaper. If whatever crank you're using doesn't have the long drive, get a collar fitted. Do it regardless of hp you'll be using. You've got a heap of expensive and unrequired stuff (like bolts, stock will do cause your injectors limit you to ~470hp) but you want to skip a very small cost part like the collar? Get the collar. If this is e85 you'll need bigger injectors. Got a good fuel pump? CP pistons are fine, and cheap from the states right now. You could probably get better rods, I remember seeing some great rods at a decent price from USA last week, can't remember where though sorry You can't ask for a power figure at 1bar without saying what turbo, and even then depending on the rest of the setup people would just be guessing. I don't see the point in not revving past 5k, if you won't do it get an rb30 in there....or a v8

Did you see how old the thread is?

Your peak torque trumps mine, agreed, but I think you'd beat me by a greater margin with some changes. Don't forget mines in for another tune this month, willbe good to compare then

Ian do you have a link to your beetle build up please? My old man is a VW head and loves reading VW builds

Well, further investigation and you'd find all the top results on 280 cams have bucket loads of RandD and perfectly matched supporting mods. I'm not recommending anything for Ian, he will no doubt try different sizes and pick whichever suits his motor best

This one http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4726549 If you ever win lotto try back to back against 260 procams

There is a lot of good results with 280's out there, personally I'm over spending on this motor.

He's not disappointed but that doesn't mean there aren't better choices out there. If I had a curve like his, I'd be dissapointed to be honest. Aaaaand in saying that, I've got a set of Tomei 280's for sale brand new in boxes, 11.5mm lift, $650 delivered no offers. That's not the thermostat I've got sorry about that! Looks like it's shopping time for you. Sorry about that!

Sounds great!

2 drivers means 2 forms

I remember wakie 08 and that motor...

Wow, what are the chances, i have a thermostat from years ago ive never used. 99% sure its earls, do you have a pic of the exact one you want? Ill try and dig it out, its here in the house but no idea where it is after all this time. Never used, went with a Jap kit instead, i cant remember if its HKS or Trust but works well, id check but its getting the exhaust fitted and is over there now If its what you want, its your for postage cost only

Yeah its not exactly slow, ive driven a lot of those "super" cars and most of them arent nearly as quick as shows like Top Gear would have you believe. Its back to the dyno this month, trying to see that big 5 Exactly what parts do you still need? Maybe i have something you can use

Whats the target for that one?

Yep first one!

Have you called to get prices?

Yes the skyline club president drives a supra. I hear he has taste! Mere mortals can't see his gtr.......sorry guys

Ok great, thanks!

Next one will be Putty Rd, details up soon

Awesome! Who was selling the T88 kit? Do you know what spec the T88 was? 34D would be a good one E85 available down there on pump?

Brad how long does that take in total including putting it back together?

Yeah wow, 10 votes difference is pretty big!

A wins by 5 votes

Good to hear! What turbo setup will it be? Still mega power?
